Description

The water-based insulation fluid and the methods involving of improvement
Cross reference to related application
The application is the U.S. Patent application of submitting on March 14th, 2,007 11/685 that is called " the water-based insulation fluid of improvement and methods involving (Improved Aqueous-Based Isulating Fluids and Related Methods) ", 909 part continuity, the full content of described application is combined in this by reference, and requires its right of priority according to 35U.S.C. § 120.
Background
The present invention relates to insulation fluid, and more specifically, relate to the water-based insulation fluid of having that at high temperature has higher stability than low heat conductivity, described water-based insulation fluid can be used for, for example, need in the application of insulation fluid, such as pipeline and underground application (for example, making the heat insulation application of oil production conduit).
Insulation fluid is often used in the sub-terrain operations that wherein fluid is placed in the annulus of the between the walls of first tubing system (tubing) and second tubing system or well.Insulation fluid plays and makes the first fluid (for example, hydrocarbon fluid) that may be in first tubing system completely cut off the heat insulation effect of environment of encirclement first tubing system or second tubing system so that can reclaim hydrocarbon fluid best.For example, if the annulus border is very cold on every side, then think insulation fluid protect first fluid in first tubing system be not subjected to environment influence so that its can flow through effectively the production tubing system for example first tubing system to miscellaneous equipment.This is desirable, can cause following problem because conduct heat: such as than the precipitation of heavy hydrocarbon, the serious reduction of flow, and in some cases, casing collapse.In addition, in the time of in being used to packer application, need the hydrostatic head pressure of sufficient quantity.Thereby, for this reason and for essential hydrostatic power is provided, often use the insulation fluid of higher density.
Such fluid also can be used to relate to the similar application of the pipeline that is used for similar purpose, and for example, the fluid that protection is in the pipeline is not subjected to the influence of ambient environmental conditions so that this fluid can flow through pipeline effectively.Insulation fluid also can be used to other wherein to be needed to control in the thermal insulation applications of heat transfer.These application may relate to or may not relate to hydrocarbon.
Useful insulation fluid preferably has low intrinsic thermal conductivity, and also should keep gluey to prevent from especially can take away the convection current of heat.In addition, preferred insulation fluid should be water base, and is easy to handle and use.In addition, for optimum performance, preferred fluid should tolerate the temperature (for example, the temperature more than 400) of superelevation for a long time.
Traditional water-based insulation fluid is subject to many shortcomings always.First-selection, many shortcomings are relevant with temperature limitation.Typically, most of water-based insulation fluids only are being no more than 240 stable phases to the short time.This is problematic, because it can cause fluidic to be degenerated in advance, the described degeneration in advance can make fluid not have the required effect of its heat insulation first fluid.Second general limitation of the water base insulation fluid of many tradition is their density range.Typically, these fluids have the upper density limit of 12.5ppg.Usually, higher density keeps enough pressure to suit for selected application.In addition, most of water-based insulation fluids have the over-drastic thermal conductivity, and it means that these fluids are efficient inadequately or effective for the control conductive heat transfer.In addition, when the fluid that needs multiviscosisty is eliminated convection current,, and make fluid may become too thick and can not be pumped to and put in place usually for the required viscosity of acquisition in present water-based base fluid (aqueous base fluid).Some water-based base fluids can also have possibility and the inconsistent different salt tolerance of the salt solution of various uses, and it has limited the operator for using which kind of fluidic to select in some cases.
In some cases, insulation fluid can be an oil base.Some oil based fluids can provide advantage because they can have the lower thermal conductivity of water-based homologue (counterpart) than them.Yet many unfavourable condition are also relevant with these fluids.At first, the oil base insulation fluid is difficult to " weightening finish ", means the density that may be difficult to obtain to use required necessity.Secondly, oil based fluids may exist necessary controlled toxicity and other environmental problem, particularly when such fluid is used to the deep-sea application.In addition, if make the use well completion fluid then have interface problem.Another difficult problem that exists when using the oil base insulation fluid is for them and the worry that may be present in the consistency of any elastic sealing element in the first tubing system pipeline.
Another can be used to make the heat insulation method of first tubing system to comprise use vacuum heat-insulation pipeline system.Yet also may there be unfavourable condition in this method.At first, in the time of on vacuum pipe system being arranged on completion post (completion string), the part of vacuum pipe system may be malfunctioning.This may become the expensive problem that relates to a large amount of stop times.Under serious situation, first tubing system may be squeezed and be ruined.Secondly, vacuum heat-insulation pipeline system may be very expensive and be difficult to settle.In addition, in many cases, the heat transfer at joint in vacuum pipe system and jointing place may be debatable.These may cause " focus " in the tubing system.
